Islington tackles buy-to-leave through planning policy

Story submitted by David Gibbens on Mon, 2015-08-03 13:59

As of 17th July 2015, the London Borough of Islington has introduced an innovative new planning policy aimed at tackling the so-called "buy-to-leave" phenomenon. Islington's approach relies on a Supplementary Planning Document entitled "Preventing Wasted Housing Supply".
